ON-THE-JOB EDUCATION

4/28/2006

Chelsea Perry, center, and Lissy White get the giggles as they learn mailroom skills from Edie Dunne at the Northwood offices of TNS, a market information group.

They were among the 29 boys and girls ages 6 to 12 who spent yesterday at TNS as part of the annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. The annual event, begun in 1993 to acquaint girls with the workplace, has included boys since 2003, according to Ms. Foundation for Women, the sponsor.
